程序本身没有伦理和职业道德, 但是程序员和软件企业要有，因为程序员明白伦理道德的存在。
对于刚刚经历被不负责队友抛下的经历，对此很有感触，软件工程师除了遵守任务做事，也要考虑道德上、责任上的事情。
就像斯诺登爆出的微软、谷歌以及Apple公司的监听门，影响整个世界的政坛，造成全世界对信息安全的恐慌，始作俑者也最终影响了自己国家的形象。
作为一个合格的工程师，要坚守自己的道德，约束自己的程序行为，既要考虑自己程序的利益，也要考虑用户的利益。软件最根本的目的还是服务大众、方便大众。
所以，要做有道德的软件工程师，就要遵守Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice，同时利用软件运行环境下的道德环境加以约束补充。
PREAMBLE
The short version of the code summarizes aspirations at a high level of the abstraction; the clauses that are included in the full version give examples and details of how these aspirations change the way we act as software engineering professionals. Without the aspirations, the details can become legalistic and tedious; without the details, the aspirations can become high sounding but empty; together, the aspirations and the details form a cohesive code.
